We went out for Happy Hour last night. Chicken wings, fish and chips, chopped salad. All yummy. Grampy had a beer and I had a whiskey sour. Such fun to get slightly blitzed before 6:00!

We also had Arancini, pork over polenta, Panzanella salad, rapini, and a fabulous Tiramisu, which was my contribution. You may have guessed the theme was Italy. There were eight of us, we started with cheeses, salami, Prosecco and moved on to wine and Limoncello. It was a fab feast with delightful people and it lasted for four hours. I am still recovering two days later!

Grampy’s whole wheat pitas puffing up in the stove. Delicious.

Once in a great while we go to Petit Pierre for a special coffee treat. Today mine was a strawberry Cruffin filled with custard and smooshed strawberries topped with cream! We are now lying down trying to recover.

We were inspired by the Bostonians’Lasagna soup so Grampy made it tonight. Delish!

Crab melt, tomato soup, Brie and crackers with wine by the fire. Welcome 2025!

Hmm, nice photo…It’s from Amazon and is called Great Jones Big Chill Wire Cooling Rack 16.9” x 11.4” and was near the top of the category.

Monday, a great day for coffee at Petit Pierre’s. Grampy’s blueberry muffin and my peach cruffin with brown sugar whipped cream, and a cappuccino. Very nice way to start the week.
